Let A = 2 1 2 6 2 11 3 3 2 and P = 1 2 0 5 0 2 7 1 5 . The sum of the prime factors of P - 1 AP - 2 I is…

Let A=2126211332 and P=120502715. The sum of the prime factors of P-1AP-2I is equal to
  1. 26
  2. 27
  3. 66
  4. 23

Solution

Let, y=P-1AP-2I

y=P-1AP-2P-1P

y=P-1I( A-2I)P

y=P-1I|A-2I||P|

We know that, A=1A-1.

y=|A-2I|

y=2126211332-200020002

y=0126011330

y=0-0-33+218-0

y=69

Now, prime factor of 69 is 3 and 23.

So, sum =26
